By these accounts Mr. Barwell is charged with a
balance or debt of 22,421 rupees to Kaworke. The principal difference
between him and Mr. Barwell arises from a different mode of stating the
accounts acknowledged to exist between them. In the account current
signed by Mr. Barwell, he gives Kaworke credit for the receipt of 98,426
rupees, and charges him with a balance of 27,073 rupees.
The facts stated or admitted by Mr. Barwell are as follow: that the salt
farms of Selimabad and Savagepoor were _his_, and re-let by him to the
two Armenian merchants, Michael and Kaworke, on condition of their
paying him 1,25,000 rupees, exclusive of their engagements to the
Company; that the engagement was written in the name of Bussunt Roy and
Kissen Deb Sing; and Mr. Barwell says, that the reason of its being "in
these people's names was because _it was not thought consistent with the
public regulations that the names of any Europeans should appear_."
It is remarkable that this policy was carried to still greater length.
